Lightsaber Gathering 3 -
Intro
Project PROM was pretty good,
and the "lightsabers" (I should really
call them glow rods, since they're just long
glow sticks) looked pretty good. I think the
still camera really doesn't do them justice.
Even though the pictures look worse than fan
pictures you find in SW fan sites (and yet again,
we're not Star Wars fans), these rods actually
glow. The ones that glow, that you can buy,
suck, break, and are effin expensive.
Problem with glow rods is they
aren't reusable -- after about 8 hours they're
pretty dim. All you have is a rod with liquid
inside, a souvenier (I kept mine from PROM).
The better alternative is to use electric glow
rods. Lightsaber replicas break real easy I've
heard. Our glow rods, you can figth with, you
can change colors, and you can take apart. They
cost only a fraction of the damn merchandise
price too. And oh yeah, they glow, and you don't
need to do some fake effects like rotoscoping
like they do in fan videos. There's really no
point. It's just cool to see... cuz they look
good.
Objective: another lightsaber
